Tortorella ejected in first period of Flyers vs. Lightning game originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
An incensed John Tortorella was ejected 10:49 minutes into the Flyers’ game Saturday night against the Lightning.
His team fell into an early 4-0 hole at Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida.
The head coach was shown on the NBC Sports Philadelphia broadcast irate with the officials. He was hit with a game misconduct after Brayden Point scored the Lightning’s fourth goal on a power play.
The Flyers had 21 penalty minutes in the first period.
It was not a happy homecoming for Tortorella, who coached the Lightning to their first-ever Stanley Cup title in 2004. The organization was celebrating the 20-year anniversary of the championship on Saturday night.
